According to the Presidential Administration, the Vilnius Summit, which takes place at a critical moment for Euro-Atlantic security in the second year of the Russian aggression against Ukraine, will assess the implementation of the decisions adopted at the Madrid Summit of 2022, when the Strategic Concept in force was also adopted, with emphasis on strengthening NATO's deterrence and defence posture. Political and practical support for Ukraine, as well as making concrete progress towards its accession to NATO, will be another important objective.

"The particular significance of this summit meeting is generated by the fact that it will reflect the way in which the Euro-Atlantic community continues to articulate its response to the current security environment seriously affected by Russia's war against Ukraine. That also regards ensuring enhanced NATO presence on the eastern flank, with allocations of forces, equipment and capabilities. At the same time, co-operation with NATO partners will be strengthened, including in terms of political dialogue," the Presidential Administration says.
